I don't know who this person is or specifically what her objection is -- but,
If she indeed is from afsc.org, that would make her a member of the Society
of Friends ("Quakers").
Based on the Friends I've known, I'd cut her some slack. It's likely she
doesn't understand the relationship between Yahoo and FreeBSD but is
motivated by principle to raise what she considers an important issue.
Compared to her single post, much more noise has been added to the list by
all the people who've felt it necessary to respond with ridicule.
My hunch is that the Friends would probably view pornography as a violence
issue and it's hard to find a religious community that has done more to
combat violence in all forms. I have a lot of relatives who are Friends and
I've always admired their committment to peace, rejection of religious dogma,
and willingness to put their beliefs on the line.
I agree that offtopic posts should be kept off the list and I apologize for
adding to it with this note.
